I'm in pain just reading your post Star. I too, suffer from severe back/spine problems, so I really think you need to see a Spine Spec. They will no doubt, order an MRI and some updated Xrays. Make sure you take all your previous films w/you, too.

Seriously, get an appt w/a Spec. You'll get the answers you need for tx and pain control. Good luck and keep us posted. Take care.
